    Toots my lovely - a star for today please as I did it all yesterday and finished off this morning before work. Sorry if I/we have offended you in any way.

    Vacuumed again.

    Half hour trip to Lidl this morning.

    Bird seed only £1 per bag (can't carry more than that).

    Had bratwurst in fresh baked roll for breakfast/lunch.

    Fed bratwurst and roll to birds (and a little black cat outside)

    More aimless cleaning.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    DD back at school today. Left DS at home with OH as I still can't get the pushchair through the ice and snow - one of the benefits of him working at home....

    I've even managed to do some tidying in DDs bedroom - the top of her chest of drawers is now clean and has more appropriate things on it. She's a great hoarder of cut up pieces of paper, glitter, sequins and so on...most of which ends up on the top of her chest of drawers :rolleyes: I'll probably be moaned at, but hey, it's my house....!!

    Actually, that's one of my dailies, to spend half an hour tidying her room.

    Right, talking of DD, I'd better go and collect her from school!

    Hope everyone is having a good day? Hugs for anyone who needs one.
    Take care and keep warm (we're forecast more snow over the next couple of days).
